摘要
Ulcerative colitis presents in childhood in 10% of those affected, usually with pancolitis. Important features in management include growth, development and avoidance of treatment toxicity. This review addresses the current treatment options including both the paediatric evidence-based experience and areas where paediatric practice is informed by adult studies. Standard treatments include sulfasalazine or 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, purine derivatives (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) and surgery. Other immunosuppressant therapies and the emerging roles for biological therapies and probiotics are discussed.
